Reviews
The Observer
Clare Brennan
"Shepard's writing here poses a challenge to actors. The vivid dialogue, its everyday language vibrating with mythic resonances, shuffles rapidly between comedy, horror and tragedy ... Most of this strong cast rise to meet it, but Matthew Kelly's wily, desolate patriarch, Dodge, deserves special mention."

"[A] tantalising interpretation of Shepard’s disturbing novel."

The Times
Donald Hutera
"In this work Shepard was keen to reveal certain bitter, archetypal truths of the worm-eaten American heartland. Paul Kerryson’s production exposes the play’s weaknesses without yet plumbing its darkest depths."

The Guardian
Alfred Hickling
"Kerryson's production arrives a little late for Halloween, though it does make for a ghoulishly well-observed parody of Thanksgiving."
